The rest of the month will be filled with gearing up for the next quarterly economic and revenue forecast, set to be released on Tuesday, November 20th. Mark and I are headed to the FTA Revenue Estimation and Tax Research Conference where we will discuss economic and revenue trends with our colleagues in other states in addition to an action packed slate of conference sessions (if you like revenue estimation and tax research, which we do.) In addition to revenue discussions, I will also be speaking with other states about the preliminary employment benchmark data and I’ve been asked to present the financial crises update work to the broader conference audience as well. Following the conference, we have our regular forecast meetings discussing the preliminary forecast figures for Lottery, the economy and General Fund revenues. All of which will be wrapped up, finalized and published on November 20th.
